Poorly written mess.
What are described as camp selection “strategies” are really thinly veiled ads for the specialized summer camps for ADHD that are inaccessible to the 99% of children they are intended to serve. They are costly, highly selective and in remote areas. The book does nothing to prepare parents on how to evaluate mainstream camps with traditional models which actually serve communities we live in.

Other strategies or tips are so basic and cliched, you are probably already doing most of them.

Since 1998, millions of parents and adults have trusted ADDitude's expert guidance and support for living better with ADHD and its related mental health conditions. Our mission is to be your trusted advisor, an unwavering source of understanding and guidance along the path to wellness.
